A viral theory circulating online claims that Jack Dorsey — the former CEO of Twitter and founder of Block (formerly Square) — might be the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. The theory, brought back into the spotlight by crypto trader James Wynn, is full of odd coincidences and symbols that make some people believe Jack Dorsey could be the hidden creator of Bitcoin.

Claim Made by Theory | Coinpedia’s Counter-Evidence |
Dorsey’s bio and habits match Satoshi | Coincidental, not unique; many cypherpunks had similar interests. |
“jD2m” address links Dorsey to Satoshi | No verifiable blockchain evidence; speculative at best. |
Satoshi’s actions align with Dorsey’s timeline | Dorsey’s public commitments at Twitter/Square make this implausible. |
Symbolic gestures (shirts, books) | Advocacy ≠ authorship; no direct proof. |
Satoshi’s communication style is like Dorsey’s | Writing styles are significantly different. |
No denial from Dorsey | Dorsey has denied being Satoshi in interviews; playful answers are not proof. |
No cryptographic evidence | No access to Satoshi’s wallets or ability to sign messages |
Coinpedia’s research, along with input from blockchain experts, finds no concrete or technical evidence linking Jack Dorsey to Satoshi Nakamoto. The claims are based on coincidences, symbolism, and speculative connections that do not withstand scrutiny. Without cryptographic proof or blockchain evidence, the theory remains just that—a viral internet rumor, not fact.
